One Piece: Shadow monarch? I'm Just Logistics!

Chapter 181: The Assaulted Impel Down

Impel Down's Underground Level 2, the Wild Beast Hell. Various ferocious beasts and monsters were kept here.

A woman with a hot figure in a pink leather outfit, with curly blonde hair and bangs covering her eyes, stood at the ready with the four Jailer Beasts.

"It's Chief Jailer Sadi-chan!"

"Why is that she-devil on the second level!"

The prisoners in the cells backed away in panic until their backs were against the wall.

This woman enjoyed listening to painful groans and often tortured criminals to the brink of death. In the prison, her evil reputation was second only to the former Shiliew of the Rain!

All the prisoners avoided this she-devil, terrified of becoming her toy for the day.

"...Something's not right. Looking at their formation, that woman probably isn't here to torture prisoners."

"That's right. I'm afraid a major riot is happening in the prison."

In a two-person cell, two men whispered to each other.

One had glasses that glinted coldly and hair styled into a '3'. The other had a conspicuously large, round, red nose.

Looking at the jailers waiting in formation outside the cell, Buggy was lost in thought. Perhaps he could take this opportunity to break out of prison?

As for why he was locked up on the second level with Mr. 3, Buggy fell into a memory...

After Nami stole his nautical chart in the East Blue, he learned that she had joined the Straw Hat Pirates during the Arlong incident, so he set off to Loguetown to intercept them.

But just as he was about to execute Straw Hat, he was taken down by a single Sea-Prism Stone bullet from Black Snake Reiner, and then arrested by Smoker.

As the top Marine dog in the East Blue, how could Smoker not know about Buggy's intelligence? He was sent to Impel Down, slapped with Sea-Prism Stone handcuffs, and locked directly in the second level.

Here, he met Mr. 3, who had also been defeated by Luffy. The two partners in misfortune immediately hit it off.

Rumble!!

Suddenly, a commotion came from the distance. Buggy, the other prisoners, and the jailers outside the cells all turned their heads, their attention focused.

The commotion grew closer from the deep darkness, and the sounds of fighting could be faintly heard.

It really is a riot!

Buggy and Mr. 3 were overjoyed. They looked at each other, and both saw a hint of excitement in the other's eyes!

Slap!

Sadi-chan, holding a trident in one hand, cracked her long whip on the ground with the other. A fiery glint flashed in the eyes beneath her fluffy bangs.

"Prepare for battle! The enemies are the Supernova alliance! We absolutely cannot let our guard down!"

She was already fantasizing about what kind of torture she would use on this group after capturing them.

As the sounds of fighting grew clearer, a dozen or so rapidly approaching silhouettes began to appear in the distance.

"Go!!"

With a command, four burly figures shot out from behind Sadi-chan!

"Ah, the Jailer Beasts are on the move!"

"Damn it, I almost forgot this is Impel Down!"

Looking at the four figures—a humanoid cow, a koala, and others—Buggy instantly became nervous. Those were the so-called unkillable monsters.

The great prison known as the impenetrable fortress, how could it be breached so easily? He could only hope the opponent's strength was a bit greater.

"Get out of the way, you bastard! Gomu Gomu no..."

Just then, a familiar shout reached his ears.

"Eh?"

"Masaka?!"

Buggy and Mr. 3 were stunned for a moment, looking at each other as if seeing their own thoughts reflected in the other's eyes.

The next moment.

A figure wearing a straw hat and red shorts and a blue vest came into their view!

"Giant Pistol!!"

Luffy punched out with a giant arm, plowing through the ground like a bulldozer, sending rubble flying as his fist, wrapped around a humanoid rhinoceros Jailer Beast, slammed heavily into a cell!

Boom!!

The iron bars were instantly twisted and deformed. The surrounding stone walls cracked and shattered, and countless rocks fell with a cloud of dust.

"Straw Hat!!!" Buggy and Mr. 3 were so shocked their eyes flew outside the bars, their jaws hitting the ground!

"Why is it you!!"

"Karma Retribution!"

After taking a hit from a Minotaurus Jailer Beast's spiked club, a trickle of blood flowed from Urouge's forehead. He grinned ferociously. "That hurt, you bastard! Now it's my turn!"

He drew his fist to his waist, the muscles in his arm bulging, and slammed it heavily into the half-beast before him!

Bang!!

With a dull impact, the Jailer Beast's entire body shot backward like a cannonball!

It crashed into the Minozebra Jailer Beast behind it, and together they were blasted into a cell, kicking up a thick cloud of smoke.

"One more!"

A cold glint flashed in Zoro's eyes, and his whole body shot out like a green aurora!

The Minokoala Jailer Beast raised its right arm, its hand wearing a ferocious tiger-claw weapon, and struck down at him with a swift punch that whistled through the air!

Bang!!

The punch missed and hit the ground, sending shattered bricks flying. Three green flashes streaked past its body!

"Three Sword Style: Rengoku Oni Giri!!"

Clang—!

Zoro's figure and the opponent instantly crossed paths. He landed in a half-squat, Wado Ichimonji held horizontally in his mouth, a longsword in each of his outstretched arms.

Squelch! Squelch!

Blood floated up. Three scarlet gashes appeared on the Jailer Beast's chest. Its eyes rolled back, and it slowly knelt and collapsed!

Bang!

He stood up and was about to sheathe his swords when a giant rock flew out from the thick smoke where the two Jailer Beasts had landed!

Zing!

"Hmm?" Zoro raised his hand and swung his sword. The giant rock was split in two from the bottom up and flew past him on both sides. From the thick smoke emerged two tall beast-men figures.

"Hahaha, so tough, are they?" Urouge laughed heartily, tore off the kasaya draped over his shoulder, revealing a body of sturdy muscle, clenched his fists, and charged up again.

The Jailer Beasts could still move after taking that punch. Their physical strength slightly surprised the others.

Reiner spoke up to explain, "Those are awakened Zoan users who failed. Although their bodies gained immense strength and vitality, their consciousness was almost completely devoured, leaving almost only their corresponding animal instincts."

"Awakened ability users?"

Kid looked over at him with a puzzled expression. "What do you mean? A further development of a Devil Fruit ability?"

"Mm, an ability that can only be mastered after developing the fruit's power to a certain extent. For Zoan types, it's about becoming closer to the corresponding form. For Paramecia types, it's all sorts of strange things. You'll have to figure it out by feel," Reiner replied casually.

After hearing his words, Kid lowered his head in thought, clenching his fists.

"How dare you do this to my cute servants!"

An angry shout erupted, and a pink figure rushed forward.

Sadi-chan's face wore a sickly, savage smile. She swung the long whip in her hand, which coiled like a snake, and then lashed it out horizontally!

"Let me taste your screams! Excitement Lash: Red Demon Whip!"

Slap!

Reiner casually caught the whip that was whistling through the air. Blood immediately welled up on his palm, and he couldn't help but give the other a second look.

He had thought she was just a pretty face commanding the Jailer Beasts, but he didn't expect her to have some strength. But that was all.

He gripped the long whip tightly, and with a pull of his arm!

"Mmmph~~"

Sadi-chan let out a cute moan, her entire body staggering forward uncontrollably.

Crackle!

"Where did this perverted woman come from? Go to hell!" Nami let out a low shout and transformed into a leaping electric arc, flashing out from behind him.

Arriving in front of the opponent and re-forming her body, she leaped into the air and turned, a long leg wrapped in violent lightning whipping towards Sadi-chan's face!

Bang!!

The long leg descended rapidly and sent her flying, crashing through a wall and falling into a pile of rocks.

"Mmmph~~," a series of lightning snakes spread across Sadi-chan's entire body, electrocuting her until she was charred black, her body uncontrollably letting out sick moans of pleasure from the numbness.

"Roar!!"

"Cock-a-doodle-doo!!"

As if attracted by the commotion here, two bizarrely-shaped behemoths roared and poked their heads out from a dark corner.

"Dan dan mian," a monster with the body of a lion and the face of a man showed a displeased expression, looking down at the two figures who had secretly slipped out of a broken cell.

"It's the Sphinx!!"

Buggy and Mr. 3 screamed in terror, their faces instantly turning deathly pale. "And a cockatrice!! A basilisk!!"

Bang! The two retreated back into the cell, slammed the twisted bars shut, and waved their hands sheepishly.

"Well, about that prison break... I think we'll pass."

"Indeed. Everyone here is so talented, and they speak so nicely."

The two righteously comforted themselves again, choosing to calmly accept their fate.

Swish!

Steaming with white vapor, his body burning red, Luffy streaked past the entrance.

In a flash, he appeared below the man-faced lion, one hand extended in a palm strike, the other bent into a fist at his side. A fist, invisible to the naked eye, shot out from bottom to top!

"Rubber Jet Pistol!"

Bang!

The air seemed to explode. This swift punch pierced the Sphinx's abdomen, its entire body arching like a bridge.

Luffy leaped above the opponent, stretched one leg extremely high towards the sky, then quickly retracted it, let out a explosive roar, and brought his heel crashing down on its back!

"Rubber Jet Axe!!"

Bang!!

"Roar!!"

The Sphinx let out a pained howl, its massive body directly slammed to the ground!

Drake, his cape fluttering, charged towards the monster with a chicken body and a snake tail, his sword and axe crossed as he struck its head heavily!

"X-Cross Hunt!"

Bang!

With another loud bang, the basilisk crashed heavily against the wall, sliding down like soft mud and collapsing to the ground.

Thud.

Drake landed with both feet and put away his weapons. He looked at the several figures causing a ruckus in the prison without a word, his heart filled with complicated feelings.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

The Minotaurus Jailer Beast held its spiked club with both hands, swinging it in a whirlwind, and continuously clashed with a pair of massive fists!

"That's about enough, you bastard."

Urouge's rugged face wore a savage grin. He grabbed the opponent's neck and lifted him up, his right arm with its knotted veins clenched into a fist and aimed at its abdomen!

"Karma Retribution: Demon-Subduing Vajra Fist!!"

Bang!!

A strong impact spread out. The heavy fist sank directly into the opponent's body.

The Jailer Beast spat out blood, its eyes rolled back, and it collapsed limply to the ground.

A pink-haired, twin-tailed gothic lolita emerged from its face, floating up through the fallen Jailer Beast.

"Horohorohoro~~, I'm back, everyone."

Perona flew in front of Reiner and Sanji, holding her umbrella, and pointed towards the corridor in the distance. "Control room is taken care of. The entrance to the third level is a right turn there!"

"Mm-hmm~~, Miss Perona is simply too—Ouch!"

Bang!

Before Sanji could start fawning, Reiner kicked him squarely in the butt and turned to shout, "Let's go, everyone! Don't get bogged down in fights! Hurry down to the third level!"

With that, he ran straight out. Sanji turned around angrily, baring his teeth and shouting:

"You bastard four-eyes! You want a fight!"

"Let's go, Luffy!"

Zoro ran past Sanji, not forgetting to give him a disdainful look. "Idiot cook."

"Coming!" Luffy kicked away a poisonous scorpion and ran in their direction.

Soon, the others also disengaged from their fights, and the group continued to advance in a mighty procession, letting the large number of monsters on the second level chase after them.

Crackle!

Nami flew past him as lightning. "Reiner! For the third level, I remember it's..."

"Mm, the Starvation Hell. The terrain is almost weathered into a desert. We'll split into pairs then. I'll use the Super Spot-Billed Duck undead from Alabasta to carry people."

Having all sorts of undead was always useful. Reiner spoke as he ran, looking at her with a strange smile. "You can ride a horse again then, Nami."

Bang!

"Ouch!"

Not long after they left, the second level fell into silence. The monsters were either defeated or had gone to chase them.

From the numerous broken cells, one prisoner after another, who hadn't dared to make a sound, tiptoed out of their cells.

"Hey, those guys were too ridiculous."

"Are they here for a prison break?"

"Who cares! I'm free! Hahaha!"

"We're free! Brothers, let's charge out together!!"

After the lingering fear, all the prisoners turned to cheer joyfully, scrambling towards the stairs leading to the first level.

Buggy and Mr. 3 cautiously looked left and right. After confirming there was no danger...

"Chyahahaha!!"

Buggy stood with his hands on his hips, laughing wildly at the sky. "Now all the forces are drawn to them! It's the perfect time for a prison break! Everything is within my plan!"

"Buggy-bro, are you sure you had such a plan?" Mr. 3 asked, adjusting his glasses, speechless.

"Ahem! In any case, as long as the result is good, Mr. 3."

Buggy covered his mouth and coughed, then added, "Let those idiots scout the way first. With the intelligence of the two of us working together, breaking out of prison is simply too easy!"

"Hehehe, that's true," Mr. 3 replied softly, a cold glint flashing across his glasses.

However, before they could make a move, a rustling sound came from ahead, and faint wails could be heard.

"Uwaah!"

"I don't want to die!"

"Magellan! It's Magellan!"

"Please don't! I'll go back and serve my sentence obediently!"

Bang!

Buggy and Mr. 3 retreated back into their cell, slammed the twisted bars shut, and waved their hands sheepishly.

"Well, about that prison break... I think we'll pass, after all."

"It's not that I'm scared or anything. It's mainly that I've grown tired of the bloody storms outside."

The two once again righteously comforted themselves.

Swish!

A ferocious purple dragon flew past the entrance, and then the terrifying figure of the prison's boss followed the poison dragon passage, speeding towards the stairwell.

Buggy and Mr. 3 looked at each other. It seemed...

It was okay to go again?

The group of Supernovas arrived at the third level and caused a ruckus, quickly rushing towards the fourth level. At the same time...

Underground Level 6, in the depths of the Infinite Hell where various legendary criminals were imprisoned, a man sat cross-legged in front of a cell.

"It seems there's quite a commotion upstairs."

"Should we make a move?"

A white-haired man with slicked-back hair leaned against the wall, his arms crossed, two cigars rising with swirling smoke from the corner of his mouth.

Smoker's voice was low. "Although I'm not a jailer, it's only natural for the Marines to catch criminals."

"You go if you want to. I need to have a few words with my grandson."

"I'll give you some private space then. I didn't expect you to have such a gloomy moment. Excessive grief can shorten your life, you old geezer," Smoker said faintly and turned to leave.

"Hahaha! Smoking so much is what will shorten your life, you brat! Get lost!"

"...Sigh~~."

After Smoker left, Garp's face fell, as if he had aged considerably in an instant.

"What should I do, Ace..."

Clank, clank~~

A clanking of iron chains came from within the cell. A pathetic figure, covered in blood and tightly bound by shackles, slowly raised his head.

Long black hair half-covered Ace's face, revealing tired eyes. He spoke in a hoarse voice:

"...I'm sorry, Grandpa."
